Welcome to the Bahn Lab

We are interested in macroecology or large-scale ecology and
conservation biology. In particular, understanding and predicting the
distribution and abundance of species is a research focus. Arguably,
this question is at the heart of ecology – the science of the
interaction of species with their environment.

We attempt to find patterns in species or community distributions and
abundances and explain them, at least partly, through general
mechanisms and processes. The ultimate goal of our research is
prediction, which then can inform conservation management. Secondary
research foci are community ecology, forest policy, and Marbled
Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus). Click here for more details on our research.

Collaboration is a pillar of modern research. Click here for a list of people working in the lab and
here for research opportunities
currently available in the lab. Collaborators outside of the lab are
listed here. What we learn through our
research is passed on by teaching, in
presentations and publications.
